The ETA for an ISO image build process was 100min, #Graviton2 on an #EC2 instance blew it up in just 5min and 21sec 😏

I've been running image processing benchmarks on #AWS #EC2 #ARM instances and it looks like #Graviton3 (c7g) is almost 40% faster than #Graviton2 (c6g), much better than the advertised 25% improvement.

This is almost on a par with AMD EPYC 3rd gen but with lower power consumption, and pricing between instance types appears to reflect this. The use of DDR5 RAM will also be helping.

If you're already running AWS Graviton2 then the ~5% cost upgrade to use Graviton3 seems to be very much worth it.
